I honestly haven't gotten a chance to watch the fight yet, I was stuck on a plane in Denver... shit kept breaking, I'm just glad to be home haha so I looked up results when I got home. Crazy it was a SD.. I thought if it went the distance GSP had it for sure and it wouldn't be close.

You can't call that the biggest robbery in mma history. Hendricks clearly won 2,4. Gsp edged 3,5 all down to rd 1. You can't call a 5 rd fight that comes down to a razor thin round a robbery although I thought Hendricks won.

The reason is it is by far the most significant fight in MMA history with a really bad decision. It may not be the most inexplicable decision, but it is BY FAR the most momentous.

This is a great post. Sure, there are a handful of people on here who seem determined to say GSP actually won (he didn't), but you can't tell me that ALL THOSE fighters (and all the other commentators and fighters who have weighed in) are totally wrong, and the 2 judges who gave it to GSP were right.

Just researched round one and it was pretty close. Gsp counters the hook with a double leg then threatens the guillotine. Gsp holds a single leg against the cage as Johnny elbows and uppercuts gsp. Johnny knees gsp's thighs. Johnny takes down gsp. Hard knee by Johnny. Head kick by George. Clinch hard knees to the thigh by Johnny. With a minute left they break the clinch and no significant strikes are landed from either guy.

It's really close, but I would say that gsp controlled the pace for about a minute longer, by holding Johnny on the cage, but Johnny landed more dirty boxing. That's one criteria where there hasn't been a decisive dominant fighter and its always argued in close decisions. Who is more dominant? The guy controlling the clinch? Or the guy striking in the clinch?

If I was going to judge who won the fight I would say Johnny beat up George.If I was going to judge who won the fight under the unified rules I would say gsp landed more jabs and had like one more takedown in 5.

So so close, I thought Johnny was going to take the nod though.

Control is not jearly as highlty valued in the scoring as Effective Striking. Johnny won round one to anyone being objective and half way intelligent.
